Banksy's Brace Yourself, by Daniel Silk on Apr 21, 2010 12:37:44 GMT 1, Whats it all about? -
cofacio.com/blog/2010/04/say-yes-and-brace-yourself-for-unexpected-consequences/
"Take my band for example; Simon asked me if Iโd like to learn the bass guitar and start a band to play at his 40th birthday. I leapt at the opportunity and now 5 years on weโre the proud owners of a Banksy original, so how you might ask has that happened. Well, when we started we played at a few outdoor events and I put the footage up on YouTube. In the meantime, and by complete coincidence, Banksy painted a picture with the same name as ours โ Exit Through The Gift Shop. We thought nothing of it until he decided to make a film of the same name and contacted me on YouTube. He was very genuine and polite and wondered if weโd change our name. We considered it for a while, agreed and asked him to help us choose our new name. I think he quite got into the idea and picked a new name for us from a couple of alternatives and to thank us for being so accommodating then painted us a new backdrop for us to display at our gigs. True to his word he delivered us a stunning 8ft x 6ft canvas backdrop of the grim reaper driving a bumper car with our new name on it!"

Banksy's Brace Yourself, by rowan on Apr 21, 2010 12:43:35 GMT 1, Thanks Silky!
So what do people thing? Geniune?
It just doesn't have that Banksy look! We have seen his stencil & paint work, but this doesn't look much like ether?
If it is then they are one lucky bunch...

Banksy's Brace Yourself, by bazzj04 on Apr 21, 2010 12:49:41 GMT 1, sorry i mean i love the idea and gesture if it is a Banksy , but the image its alright ,
they said the bands name on the car . is it me or is this missing ?. Either way a huge piece of art there . If it is a Banksy they done very well out of that .

I think it's a great image, and a very kind gesture on Banksy's part!

Banksy's Brace Yourself, by Happy Shopper on Apr 21, 2010 15:14:43 GMT 1, Looks a bit ropey to me.
I like the idea though, just not the execution.
Bit big for his sketch style. I'd have thought this would have been a big stencil.

3. Buy a recording studio
4. Start a new band.
